I recently gained problem with battery charging. Just to add my rectifier has been repaced under recall.
I lost charging completely. Voltage with engine running was 11.6V when it suppose to be at least 14V. Step by step done all the tests manual advices to perform and I stopped on generator "No-load performance". Readings between all three pins from generator should be 65V or more at min 5000rpm. All my three readings were 0V, so it looks like I need new generator.
I heven't managed to remove it yet but is there something I need to look at before I replace generator with new one? Other thing, have aftermarket generators been used with a success?
OEM generators seems to be very expensive.
